After your first sip, you’ll agree, this beer has some real stones.

Baxter Brewing Releases Hayride Autumn Ale

Baxter Brewing has just released Hayride Autumn Ale. Look for it around Maine & Massachusetts. As days get shorter and sleeves get longer, Baxter Brewing releases its fall seasonal, Hayride Autumn Ale. A generous portion of two rye malts give the beer a full body, bready flavor, and subtle spiciness; while toasted malts provide a touch of sweetness and a rich, almost reddish hue. New Zealand Pacifica and Pacific Jade hops balance Hayride’s maltiness and suggest notes of oranges and tropical fruit. Finally, we cold-condition the beer on oak, with light additions of ginger, black pepper, and orange peel, bringing out the spiciness of the rye and rounding out the soft sweetness of the beer. Hayride will give a touch of warmth for those cool fall nights, while remaining deliciously drinkable.

Style: Rye Beer
Availability: Draft, 12 oz cans. Fall seasonal

6.6% ABV

Hoppin’ Frog Natasha Is European Collab #2

The second beer in a series of collaboration brews by Hoppin’ Frog (Akron, OH) is Natasha RÃ¸cks America. Fred Karm (founder of Hoppin’) recently took a beer run through Europe and did a series of Euro collaborations. His first stop was De Molen, where they made USA Meets Europe S.I.P.A., a saison/IPA fusion. Stop #2 finds a collaboration with FanÃ¸ Bryghus (FanÃ¸, Denmark).

NATASHA ROCKS AMERICA In a collaboration with Fano Brewery on Fano Island in Denmark, we created an Imperial Stout recipe to satisfy our own deepest desires. Brewing it on this picturesque summertime vacation island is how Natasha started, and of course we couldn’t wait to brew it at Hoppin’ Frog! The result is Natasha Rocks America – a rich, hoppy Imperial Stout with the deep-roasted, smooth flavor of Chocolate Rye malt. And, Natasha is generously dry-hopped with the perfect mix of select American hops, adding a great hop character to this super-tasty Imperial Stout collaboration brew.

Style: Stout (w/ Rye)
Availability: 22 oz bombers
Arrival: TBA

7.5% ABV
